With the end of the third week of November any warbler species in the area will be noteworthy with even the Yellow rumped Warblers becoming scarce. I have tried to get out to track down some late warblers but with mainly breezy and cool weather days as well as other commitments at home I had not had too much luck until today when I found a quite late 'western' Palm Warbler in North Hadley. I was not really expecting to find a warbler today as it was overcast and cool so when the silent Palm Warbler popped up I was quite surprised. Not my latest date for the species in the fall but not too far behind it. Yesterday I managed to track down half a dozen Yellow rumped Warblers in an area along the river I have had the species overwinter multiple times so hopefully these birds will stick around. There seems to be ample food in the area for them. Time will tell.
